I am stuck on a nested if statement, thinking I am approaching it wrong. I have a list of about 100 products that I am rendering on my page. I want to have a nested 'if' statement. Users will have a toolkit, and if the product is in their toolkit, i want to render "Already Uses", else "Add to toolkit?"
{% for product in products|sort(attribute="name") %}
{{ product.name }}
{% for products in toolkit %}
{% if product.name in toolkit %}
<p>Already Uses<p>
{% else %}
<p>Add to toolkit?<p>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

You are spot on and on the right path. It would help to provide the structure (as an example) of the product object ...
{% for product in products|sort(attribute="name") %}
{{ product.name }}
{% if product.name in toolkit %}
<p>Already Uses<p>
{% else %}
<p>Add to toolkit?<p>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
If toolkit is a nested map map:
{% if product.name in toolkit|map(attribute="<whatever has the value equal with product.name>") %}
<p>Already Uses<p>
{% else %}
<p>Add to toolkit?<p>
{% endif %}
How to display a text if the field is empty ?
I tried the following code but it does not work :
{% if content.field_description is not empty %}
{{ content.field_description }}
{% else %}
test
{% endif %}
If you have Twig Tweak installed, you can do the following:
{% if content['field_description'] | field_value != '' %}
{{ content['field_description'].value | striptags }}
{% else %}
<p class="des-empty">test</p>
{% endif %}
When field is empty it is not coming with content variable
so you can simply check by isset
{% if content.field_description %}
{{ content.field_description }}
{% else %}
<p class="des-empty">test</p>
{% endif %}
The below worked for me:
{% if content['field_description'] IS NOT EMPTY %}
{{ content['field_description'].value | striptags }}
{% else %}
<p class="des-empty">test</p>
{% endif %}
Please note that it may vary based on the content type and fields you are dealing with.
I want to do assignment in Django template tag for this code:
{% for ins in ob %}
{% if ins.heur = 'here' %}
a==1
some stuff ..
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if a!=1 %}
stuff
{% endif %}
You can use the {% with %} template tag.
Example:
{% with a=1 %}
{{ a }}
{% endwith %}
Is there a way to check for an empty query set in the Django template? In the example below, I only want the NOTES header to be displayed if there are notes.
If I put an {% empty %} inside the "for" then it does display whatever is inside the empty tag, so it knows it's empty.
I'm hoping for something that does not involve running the query twice.
{% if notes - want something here that works %}
NOTES:
{% for note in notes %}
{{note.text}}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
Clarification: the above example "if notes" does not work - it still displays the header even with an empty query set.
Here's a simplified version of the view
sql = "select * from app_notes, app_trips where"
notes = trip_notes.objects.raw(sql,(user_id,))
return render_to_response(template, {"notes":notes},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
Edit: the view select selects from multiple tables.
Have a look at the {% empty %} tag.
Example from the documentation
<ul>
{% for athlete in athlete_list %}
<li>{{ athlete.name }}</li>
{% empty %}
<li>Sorry, no athletes in this list.</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
Link: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/templates/builtins/#for-empty
If you are interested in a table, or some kind of heading if there are results, add the forloop.first:
{% for athlete in athlete_list %}
{% if forloop.first %}
Athlete Name:
{% endif %}
{{ athlete.name }}
{% empty %}
Sorry, no athletes in this list.
{% endfor %}
Try {% if notes.all %}. It works for me.
In your view check whether notes is empty or not. If it is then you pass None instead:
{"notes": None}
In your template you use {% if notes %} as normal.
It's unfortunate that you're stuck using a raw query set - they're missing a lot of useful behavior.
You could convert the raw query set into a list in the view:
notes_as_list = list(notes)
return render_to_response(template, {"notes":notes_as_list},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
Then check it as a boolean in the template:
{% if notes %}
Header
{% for note in notes %}
{{ note.text }}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
You could also make it happen without conversions using forloop.first:
{% for note in notes %}
{% if forloop.first %}
Header
{% endif %}
{{ note.text }}
{% endfor %}
What about:
{% if notes != None %}
{% if notes %}
NOTES:
{% for note in notes %}
{{ note.text }}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% else %}
NO NOTES AT ALL
{% endif %}
Your original solution
{% if notes %}
Header
{% for note in notes %}
{{ note.text }}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
Works now with Django 1.7 and thanks to QuerySet caching, it does not cost and extra query.
Often the right way to do this is to use the {% with ... %} tag. This caches the query so it runs only once and also gives you more flexibility with your markup than using {% empty %}.
{% with notes as my_notes %}
{% if my_notes %}
<ul>
{% for note in my_notes %}
<li>{{ note }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p>Sorry, no notes available</p>
{% endif %}
{% endwith %}
With this particular example I'm not sure how useful it is but if you're querying Many-to-Many field, for instance, it's likely what you want to do.
Use {% empty %} in django templates
{% if list_data %}
{% for data in list_data %}
{{ data.field_1 }}
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
<p>No data found!</p>
{% endif %}
We can write above code with {% empty %}.
{% for data in list_data %}
{{ data.field_1 }}
{% empty %}
<p>No data found!</p>
{% endfor %}
I have a basic question, in the Django template language how can you tell if you are at the last loop iteration in a for loop?
You would use forloop.last. For example:
<ul>
{% for item in menu_items %}
<li{% if forloop.last %} class='last'{% endif %}>{{ item }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{{ forloop.last }}
You can basically use this logic in a for loop:
{% if forloop.last %}
# Do something here
{% endif %}
For example, if you need to put a comma after each item except for the last one, you can use this snippet:
{% for item in item_list %}
{% if forloop.last %}
{{ item }}
{% else %}
{{ item }},
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
which will become for a list with three items:
first_item, second_item, third_item
